- We demand the release of Israeli and foreign hostages
- We support the complete and total right for Israel to defend itself and to eradicate Hamas.
- Nothing can justify the slaughter of innocent people.
- Antisemitism and hate is behind this extreme form of cruelty and savagery.
- We condemn pro-Palestinian demonstrations around the world celebrating the murder of innocents and promoting Antisemitism.
- Hate and terrorism have no place in civil society. This is a fight against terrorism. Israel must win.
- We call on western nations (eg. Canada, U.S.A. and Europe to immediately stop funding the Palestinian Authority and Gaza.
- We are outraged by the justification of the murders by unions, students, academics and so-called "progressives".
- The people of Gaza have been denied freedom and dignity by Hamas and the Palestinian Authority. They are responsible for the challenges their population now faces.
- There is no moral equivalency between a democratic country like Israel and a terror organization (Hamas).
- Hamas is responsible for everything that will happen in Gaza in the coming days, not Israel.
- We strongly condemn the reference to Hamas as a "militant" group. Hamas is a terrorist organization, as legally designated by Canada and most wester allies.
